AMARILLO - It was a mixed bag of results from the Wayland Baptist wrestling team's weekend of dual matches. On Friday, the Pioneers picked up their first-ever dual win at home, a convincing 43-9 victory over Central Baptist College, but on Saturday at The Courts of Amarillo, the WBU men went 0-2, losing 27-10 to York College and 28-9 to Bacone College.

Five of the eight Pioneers who wrestled at Hutcherson Center on Friday recorded falls against the school from Conway, Ark.

The only Pioneer who came away unbeaten over the weekend was 125-pound senior Richard Leal. The two-time NAIA qualifier dominated his bout against CBC, jumping out to an 8-1 lead before ending it early in the second period with a fall. In his only match on Saturday, Leal won a 7-2 decision over York College's Miles Negley.

Four WBU men went 2-1 on the weekend. Freshman Donovan Vanderbilt won in the 133-pound class with a fall late in the second period against Central Baptist, picked up a 12-2 major decision against Westley Negley of York, but then lost a close decision to Bacone's Chase Martinez, 7-6.

In the 141-pound division, Victor Thomas used two takedowns and over four minutes of riding time to defeat his opponent, CBC junior David Overy, 5-2, on Friday. Against York, Thomas took a 4-1 decision over Brian Magno. The Pioneer freshman dropped his final match of the weekend, 7-3, to Christian Hernandez of Bacone.

Another freshman, Bernie Gonzalez, got to avenge a loss three weeks ago to Central Baptist's Joe Goosbly. Wrestling in the 157-pound class, Gonzalez fell behind 2-0 early, but came roaring back to take an 11-2 major decision victory. Gonzalez lost a 6-3 decision in his first match on Saturday to York's Nicholas Clark, but picked up one of the two Pioneer victories against Bacone, winning by a 10-4 decision over Dillon Harmon.

Jose Alvarez improved to 12-3 on Friday with a pin at the 2:57 mark of his match against Chase Mann of Central Baptist. The redshirt freshman was edged out 2-0 in his opening bout on Saturday against York's Jake McCoy before coming back to defeat Lee Laxton of Bacone, 7-4.

Other Pioneers who picked up wins over the weekend were freshmen Jacob Stock, Markese Christian and John Mark Avila, and sophomore Manuel Rocha.

The Pioneers return to Hutcherson Center on Wednesday to take on sixth-ranked Oklahoma City University. The wrestlers will take to the mats beginning at 7 p.m.
